THE 906 CARRERA 6: LAST OF THE ROAD-LEGAL RACECARS Although it was a successor to Porsche’s winning 904 GTS racecar, the 906 Carrera 6 featured a nearly comprehensive redesign, with development closely supervised by Ferdinand Piëch himself in the factory experimental department. Summarized in a nutshell, the 904 was the ultimate racing variant of the four-cylinder 356 model, while the 906 was the first racing machine based on the new 911 road car. The 906 boasted a featherweight multi-tubular spaceframe chassis of notable stiffness, powered by a 210-horsepower six-cylinder Carrera engine, and wrapped in molded fiberglass bodywork. With a low weight of just 1,235 pounds, the model possessed a remarkable power-to-weight ratio that was masterfully realized in numerous forthcoming competition victories. A total of 65 Carrera 6 examples were produced, of which 52 had the 2.0-liter engine. In the hands of privateer drivers, the model utterly dominated world-class 2-liter endurance racing for two seasons while becoming one of the most memorably powerful and beautiful competition automobiles of its era. Major accomplishments during 1966 included victories at the Targa Florio and Paris Grand Prix, a sweep of 4th through 7th place at Le Mans, and class wins at Daytona, Sebring, Spa, and Monza. Privateer wins extended well into 1968 as the 906 dominated continental sports car races and SCCA events. Even today, the shape of the 906 Carrera 6 is instantly recognizable to Porsche enthusiasts worldwide, perhaps as iconic as the 911 itself. It represents one of the most significant models Stuttgart ever produced—and the final road-legal racecar Porsche ever built. CHASSIS NUMBER 906-127 According to a Kardex on file, as well as research submitted by the consignor, chassis number 906-127 was factory-finished in classic Signal Red paint and shod with Dunlop racing tires before being delivered in March 1966. The sleek racecar was sold new to Josef “Sepp” Greger, a Munich-based Volkswagen-Porsche dealer who successfully competed with both marques, including participation in the most famous European hillclimbs and endurance events of the era, sometimes even serving as a factory Works driver. Mr. Greger raced this car extensively from 1966 to late 1968, winning the 2-Liter European Hillclimb Championship in 1966 while recording 10 wins and a 2nd-place finish during 14 races that season. The car was also integral to his 1968 European Mountain Championship (the first of three Greger would win), accounting for seven additional class wins. This rigorous racing use obviously took a toll on the car’s original engine, as it was replaced during Greger’s ownership with a correct 906 motor, engine number 906-162. Following the conclusion of the 1968 season, 906-127 was sold to Kurt Hild, also of Munich, who raced it for the duration of the 1969 and 1970 seasons. It then passed to Manfred Pade of Dusseldorf who raced it throughout 1971 and 1972. In the winter between the two seasons, the body was converted to a spyder configuration in the approximate style of the 917 PA experimental racecar, and it competed that way in 1972 with improved results, including class wins at Wunstorf and Merziger. The car is accompanied by correspondence between Greger and Porsche, the original German registration (Kraftfahrzeugbrief), and the original ONS-Wagenpass from its competition years, an important piece of documentation that essentially served as a registration with the German racing authorities. In 1973, 906-127 was acquired from Pade by Herbert Adamczyk, who took it to Macau; it is still accompanied by the export document in his name. Still wearing its spyder bodywork, it was raced in the 1973 Macau Grand Prix weekend by Acamcyzk and Jim Sweeney, but it was a DNF in both races. During this period it was also occasionally used as a road car around the island, which must have been something to experience—both from behind the wheel and as a spectator. During its full competition history the car was reportedly entered in some 80 events and achieved more class wins than almost any other 906, and had among the best competition history of any privately owned 906. Adamczyk sold the Porsche in 1978 to Bob Garretson, who would eventually bring the car to Southern California and sell it to Michael Hager of Tustin. It was disassembled for restoration, but the work never began in earnest. In 1986 the project was acquired by the noted longtime Porsche enthusiast Gerry Sutterfield, who quickly sold it to Jeff Hayes; nonetheless the car remained unrestored for nearly two decades. In 2002, the 906 was acquired by an owner in West Palm Beach, Florida, and in the following year it was purchased by Jean Goutal of New York City. It was in Mr. Goutal’s ownership that 906-127 finally received its long-awaited restoration, in the hands of the highly respected Porsche racecar specialist Kevin Jeanette, and his restoration/racing company Gunnar Racing. Over a three-year period the car was largely returned to its original delivery configuration, including both mechanical and cosmetic considerations. Extensive attention to detail included the utilization of what was reportedly an original factory tail section for the bodywork, while the remaining body panels were recreated out of properly molded fiberglass. As part of this work the Carrera 6 was fitted with a correct 906 magnesium-case motor, number 906-133, and a correct magnesium gearbox, number 906-157. While efforts were taken to replicate numerous period-correct details, such as a decaying period Nürburgring scrutineering sticker that was discovered during disassembly, measures were also taken to ensure the car can be reliably enjoyed in events, such as the installation of newly fabricated fuel cells. Perhaps most significantly, the original owner Sepp Greger visited the project to advise on the work, thereby helping to address numerous original details, such as the reinstallation of the pedals that he had drilled out for additional lightness in 1966—something that he commented may have been for naught, as they had forgotten to sweep out the metal shavings and thus no weight was actually saved. Following completion of the masterful restoration, the 906 was exhibited by Mr. Goutal at the Rennsport Reunion at Daytona in 2007, winning First in Class, and at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance 2009, where the car received the Porsche Award and an Amelia Award. In 2010, 906-127 was acquired by the well-known second-generation vintage racing driver James Lindsay of England, and he prepared it for track use and drove it in the 2011 Spa 6 Hours. The Carrera 6 was then sold in 2012 to a gentleman in Albany, New York, from whom it was acquired by the current caretaker. The Porsche is currently fitted with a high-performance motor built in 2012 by the 901 Shop of Stuart, Florida. Specified with a 2.3-liter displacement and aspiration via Weber carburetors, this engine has been tuned for vintage racing applications and reportedly develops 228 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. The modern engine ensures the next caretaker can continue to enjoy the car in hot laps without worrying about the authentic 906 Carrera engine. Indeed, the present owner has run the car at Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca, as well as enjoyed it on two extended rallies with other 906s through the Rocky Mountains, and describes it as “running reliably and well.” Further, the car has been outfitted by its longtime caretakers at Road Scholars of Durham, North Carolina, with an intercom in the cockpit, including Bluetooth capability for music, as well as a cabin-cooling system, ensuring a level of comfort while on the road. Rest assured, the rebuilt, correct 901/20 Carrera 6 engine number 906-133, which was equipped during restoration and is only one number away from this car’s original engine, is fitted to a stand and separately included with the car. Chassis number 906-127 is accompanied by an impressive history file that includes numerous historic photographs, a copy of the factory Kardex, the original ONS-Wagenpass from its ownership by Manfred Pade, and many restoration photographs and descriptions of Kevin Jeanette’s process in conducting the intricately detailed restoration. Also included with the car is the very rare original Momo Monza steering wheel purchased by Manfred Pade and installed during his ownership; Mr. Pade bestowed this upon Mr. Goutal during the latter’s ownership. Remarkably documented, and authenticated by its original owner during an especially meticulous and correct restoration, this 906 must surely be one of the finest examples of the Carrera 6 in existence—well-known, superbly finished, and exactingly maintained by respected connoisseurs within the marque niche. 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Following in the footsteps of the fabled F40, Ferrari’s F50 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995. Hugely influenced by Formula 1 design and technology at the time, at the F50 heart was a naturally aspirated V-12 engine derived from Ferrari’s 642 F1 car, campaigned during the 1991 Formula 1 World Championship. With 512 bhp on tap, its Formula 1 origins and 8,000 rpm redline made the engine truly sonorous when driven as its manufacturers intended. Top speed was claimed as being 202 mph and from a standstill, the F50 would sprint to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.8 seconds. As if its performance wasn’t enough, what truly set the F50 apart from its competitors at the time was its open-top body style, allowing buyers to choose from the closed comfort of a Berlinetta or the thrill of an open-top sports car, and no open-top sports car on sale at the time could match the sheer performance of the F50. Top-down, the driving experience that the F50 provided its lucky driver and passenger was a close as one could get to driving a road-legal Formula 1 car. Only 349 examples would be built, far fewer than the F40 that preceded it. This example is one just 4 cars to have been sold new to South Africa and the story with how it landed with its first owner, quite remarkable. In the late 1980s, Leonard Smith had been working for the South African postal service with very little to his name. He received a phone call from the UK, stating that a long lost and distant relative had passed away and he was due to inherit a significant amount of money. At the time, Smith did not have the money needed to travel to the U.K., but his best friend stepped forward and paid for the trip. The inheritance was significant and lifechanging. When he returned to South Africa, he had close to 800m Rand to his name; the exchange rate at the time of 4 Rand to £1. Leonard bought himself his first Ferrari in 1991, a 328 GTS from T.A.K Motor Co. Ltd. Pty. of Johannesburg, South Africa. Soon after he visited the factory in Italy and collected a 512TR. Having missed out on the opportunity to purchase an F40 new, Smith was invited to the launch of the F50 on 6th March 1995 which attended and greatly enjoyed. Just four days after the launch, he penned a letter requesting allocation of the F50 and outlining his intentions to start a small collection. Leonard Smith would lead a very secluded life. His close friend who had paid for the trip to the UK designed his house where the cars were to be kept. The F50 was kept in a large garage alongside his first Ferrari, the 328 GTS and the 512TR, along with a 355 Challenge and a 348 Spider. The cars were used sparingly and never during the day. Smith instead chose to drive the cars after dark, and his neighbours reported they would hear him leaving home around 11pm at night. After his passing in 2012, the cars were auctioned by LRA Auctioneers & Appraisers and the car moved to its second custodian who owned the car from 2012 until purchase by DK Engineering in November 2022. In the care of its second owner the car has seen very limited use whilst still receiving due services from Ferrari South Africa. Since 2012 in fact, the car has covered just 650 kilometres. Prior to departure from South Africa, a major service including the replacement of the fuel tank. Upon arrival at DK, the car has once more received a thorough inspection.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Following in the footsteps of the fabled F40, Ferrari’s F50 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995. Hugely influenced by Formula 1 design and technology at the time, at the F50 heart was a naturally aspirated V-12 engine derived from Ferrari’s 642 F1 car, campaigned during the 1991 Formula 1 World Championship. With 512 bhp on tap, its Formula 1 origins and 8,000 rpm redline made the engine truly sonorous when driven as its manufacturers intended. Top speed was claimed as being 202 mph and from a standstill, the F50 would sprint to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.8 seconds. As if its performance wasn’t enough, what truly set the F50 apart from its competitors at the time was its open-top body style, allowing buyers to choose from the closed comfort of a Berlinetta or the thrill of an open-top sports car, and no open-top sports car on sale at the time could match the sheer performance of the F50. Top-down, the driving experience that the F50 provided its lucky driver and passenger was a close as one could get to driving a road-legal Formula 1 car. Only 349 examples would be built, far fewer than the F40 that preceded it. This example is one just 4 cars to have been sold new to South Africa and the story with how it landed with its first owner, quite remarkable. In the late 1980s, Leonard Smith had been working for the South African postal service with very little to his name. He received a phone call from the UK, stating that a long lost and distant relative had passed away and he was due to inherit a significant amount of money. At the time, Smith did not have the money needed to travel to the U.K., but his best friend stepped forward and paid for the trip. The inheritance was significant and lifechanging. When he returned to South Africa, he had close to 800m Rand to his name; the exchange rate at the time of 4 Rand to £1. Leonard bought himself his first Ferrari in 1991, a 328 GTS from T.A.K Motor Co. Ltd. Pty. of Johannesburg, South Africa. Soon after he visited the factory in Italy and collected a 512TR. Having missed out on the opportunity to purchase an F40 new, Smith was invited to the launch of the F50 on 6th March 1995 which attended and greatly enjoyed. Just four days after the launch, he penned a letter requesting allocation of the F50 and outlining his intentions to start a small collection. Leonard Smith would lead a very secluded life. His close friend who had paid for the trip to the UK designed his house where the cars were to be kept. The F50 was kept in a large garage alongside his first Ferrari, the 328 GTS and the 512TR, along with a 355 Challenge and a 348 Spider. The cars were used sparingly and never during the day. Smith instead chose to drive the cars after dark, and his neighbours reported they would hear him leaving home around 11pm at night. After his passing in 2012, the cars were auctioned by LRA Auctioneers & Appraisers and the car moved to its second custodian who owned the car from 2012 until purchase by DK Engineering in November 2022. In the care of its second owner the car has seen very limited use whilst still receiving due services from Ferrari South Africa. Since 2012 in fact, the car has covered just 650 kilometres. Prior to departure from South Africa, a major service including the replacement of the fuel tank. Upon arrival at DK, the car has once more received a thorough inspection.

JOHN VON NEUMANN To understand the 625 TRC’s place in Ferrari’s history, we need to start with the man who commissioned these cars and his pivotal role in bringing the Italian marque to California, one of the most influential markets for Ferrari at the time. Born in Austria in 1921, John von Neumann’s father Heinrich was a prominent surgeon, and in 1939 the well-off family emigrated from Vienna to New York following Hitler’s rise to power. Fascinated by all things mechanical, particularly automobiles, von Neumann enlisted in the military and thanks to his fluency in several European languages, served in military intelligence for much of World War Two. Relocating to the sunnier and altogether more optimistic climate of post-war Los Angeles, a young John kicked off his glittering career as a salesman with Roger Barlow’s International Motors. A skilled pilot, von Neumann was soon immersed in the burgeoning sports car scene and became a founding member of the California Sports Car Club. Von Neumann’s fascination with Ferrari began in 1954 with the purchase of a secondhand 2-liter 500 Mondial, adding a dedicated showroom at 1767 N Cahuenga Boulevard to his rapidly expanding empire in 1957. Trading as Ferrari Representatives of California, von Neumann’s new venture was, along with Luigi Chinetti on the other side of the country, largely responsible for putting the Prancing Horse on the map in North America. Keenly aware of what his customers wanted, von Neumann is also often credited with a pivotal role in the development of Ferrari’s legendary 250 California Spider. A true legend from an era that formed the competition and commercial success that Ferrari enjoys today, von Neumann’s prowess on the racing track and in the showroom will forever go down in Ferrari history with the other great entrepreneurs and racers like Luigi Chinetti, Jacques Swaters, Georges Filipinetti, Colonel Ronnie Hoare, and Enzo Ferrari himself. THE 625 TRC Although the majority of Ferrari’s four-cylinder sports cars built in the period 1953–1957 were sold to privateers, competing for class wins on both sides of the Atlantic, a small number of special cars were built to contest for outright honors. Following the terrible disaster at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1955, the AC de l’Ouest announced the capacity for the prototype class would be restricted to 2.5 liters for the 1956 edition of the classic endurance race. Ever the opportunist, Enzo Ferrari married Lampredi’s proven and enormously successful Tipo 625 Grand Prix engine with Maranello’s latest four-cylinder sports racing model, the 500 Testa Rossa. Designed as a replacement for the 500 Mondial under the direction of the recently recruited engineer Vittorio Jano, the new model’s distinctive red crackle finish on the cam covers led to the now famous model name Testa Rossa (Italian for “Red Head”) being used for the very first time. Uniquely bodied by Carrozzeria Touring, the three 625 LMs struggled against the more powerful Jaguar D-types after William Lyons convinced the race organizers more than 50 had been made to qualify for the production category (in fact, Gordini and Talbot were the only other manufacturers to adhere to the new rules) and co-drivers Olivier Gendebien and Maurice Trintignant did well to finish in 3rd overall. When Ferrari updated the Testa Rossa to meet the new Appendix C regulations announced by the FIA at the end of 1956, the changes were largely cosmetic—and here, Scaglietti managed to create one of the best-looking Ferraris ever made. Just 19 were constructed, of which six went to North American customers, and they proved competitive in the Class E Modified category. The idea of “hot-rodding” was very much alive in California during the 1950s, and looking to exploit the TRC’s sweet-handling chassis, John von Neumann approached Ferrari to build him a more powerful “hot-rod” version. Enzo once again turned to the race-proven Tipo 625 engine as the most expedient way to achieve his American customer’s goal. Von Neumann would ultimately order just two of these Italian hot-rods, and the extra engine capacity resulted in an impressive 25% increase over the standard 500 TRC’s output of 180 brake horsepower at 7,000 rpm. It should also be highlighted that Ferrari’s race department took this as inspiration and further developed the larger-capacity four-cylinder TRC into the legendary V-12-powered 3-liter 250 Testa Rossa. One of the earliest prototypes (0704) started life in a four-cylinder guise with a TRC-derived chassis, while the other (0666) looked virtually identical to the TRC. Ferrari took notice of how successful the 500 TRC was in its smaller engine classes on the track and knew they had the formula for a winning car with a larger engine transplant. Thus, the genesis of Ferrari’s greatest sports racer, the 250 Testa Rossa, can be found directly in the 500/625 TRC. While the Factory prepared von Neumann’s pair of 625 TRC hot-rods, few could have predicted the incredible impact they would have on the global racing scene in the months and years to come. For 1957 John von Neumann was all set to go racing; pilots like Richie Ginther and Ken Miles (not to mention the team principal himself, an accomplished driver) were ready to go head-to-head with the best European exotics and American iron that entrants like John Edgar and Tony Parravano could muster. The new 625 TRC proved a race-winner from the outset, with von Neumann beating locals Julio Mariscal at the wheel of a Jaguar D-type and a young Ricardo Rodriguez in an OSCA at the Avandaro circuit near Valle de Bravo, outside of Mexico City, at the model’s maiden outing in April of 1957. 0680 MDTR Completed on 26 June 1957, chassis 0680 MDTR was the latter of von Neumann’s 625 TRCs, and unlike the earlier car (0672 MDTR), he took delivery in Europe with the plan of contesting select rounds of the European Mountain Championship. Debuting at the Gaisberg hillclimb in his native Austria on 15 August, von Neumann’s time of 10 minutes, 29.2 seconds was good enough for 7th overall, and 10 days later at Lenzerheide in the Grosser Bergpreis der Schweiz, von Neumann achieved a 2nd in class with a time of 7 minutes, 23.6 seconds. Period images of both events confirm 0680 ran with the same Appendix C windscreen installed on all TRCs; the 625 is set apart from its 2-liter siblings by the distinguishing feature of twin humps on the bonnet to accommodate the larger engine. Arriving in California soon afterward, 0680 was configured in von Neumann’s iconic livery of dark silver with a red center band, a driver’s side aero-screen, and passenger tonneau, and it initially wore the temporary Italian registration plate (BO 84689), a legacy from its European sojourn. The car was also fitted with red leather seats with classic white piping, a trademark seat for many of the 250 Testa Rossa customer cars. Making its North American debut at the inaugural meeting held at Laguna Seca in November 1957, 0680 was kept in reserve for the preliminary race, but von Neumann drove it to great effect in the main event, leading most of the race until gearbox trouble caused him to slow a few laps from the end—resulting in a hard-fought 2nd-place finish. This would prove 0680’s only outing in California in 1957, but the sister car was raced with great success throughout 1957, achieving 15 victories across the West Coast and Nassau Speed Weeks. Respected journal Road & Track ran a road test on the 625s in their December edition, with von Neumann and Richie Ginther both rating the car as the “… best handling and easiest of all Ferraris to drive in a race.” The following year proved pivotal in the 625 TRC’s history. Both cars were campaigned alongside von Neumann’s 250 Testa Rossas, ex-works 335 Sport, and ultimately the fearsome 412 Sport, another bespoke car built for the team. The von Neumann outfit would typically enter just one TRC at each event, with the second kept as a backup, and it has taken careful examination of period images to reveal which of the two cars appeared in each race. Von Neumann personally favored 0680 over the other Ferraris in his stable for the first half of the 1958 season (including the first customer-delivered “pontoon” 250 Testa Rossa), finishing 3rd overall and 2nd in class at Pomona and 4th overall and 1st in class at Palm Springs in February and April, respectively, before breaking through for a maiden overall win driving 0680 in Hawaii the following month. The team principal again finished 4th in the main event at Santa Barbara in May before Richie Ginther took over the TRC at Laguna Seca in June, winning the SCCA Regional event and retiring at Vaca Valley in July. Von Neumann’s daughter Josie often drove in the Ladies Race, and she took victory at the wheel of 0680 at Vaca Valley. With 0680 relegated to the role of team spare for the remainder of the 1958 season, a tumultuous period followed in which John and his first wife divorced and most of the Ferraris and the dealership ultimately passed to Eleanor. John meanwhile dropped the spare V-12 engine (0750) from his 3-liter Testa Rossa into 0672 over the winter months to create his famous hot-rod. After racing at Pomona and El Paso in February, the team had one final fling in Mexico, and images from the von Neumann scrapbook show both 0672 and 0680 were present at Avándaro. The latter was driven by Ginther, who was classified 5th overall, behind Josie in the silver 250 TR. Ginther drove 0672 at the Lago de Guadalupe on the outskirts of Mexico City the following month, after which the team disbanded for good, bringing to a close one of the most important chapters in Ferrari’s North American history. Prior to selling the 625 TRC, the 2.5-liter engine (internal number 3) was removed from 0680. It went to Pete Lovely in Washington State, who installed it in Fred Armbruster’s Cooper Type 51 single-seater, the Anglo-Italian hybrid competing in the US Grand Prix held later in 1960. The TRC was sold, less the engine and transmission, to Stan Sugerman of Phoenix, Arizona and he had Jim Connor install the ubiquitous Chevrolet small-block V-8 in time for the CSCC race meeting held at Santa Barbara at the end of May 1960. Sugerman took delivery of a Maserati Tipo 61 (2452) in June 1960 for Connor to race; the older Ferrari was entered at Pomona that month for Chalmers Hall, but failed to finish due to a broken fuel line and spent the remainder of the year being repaired. Having obtained his racing license in April 1961, Sugerman began campaigning 0680 himself that year, and there are some lovely color images showing the still-silver Ferrari racing up and down the West Coast in the C-Modified category. Passing to well-known Corvette racer Emery Leroy “Red” Faris of San Leandro in August 1961, 0680 continued its racing career in the hands of the owner, as well as another talented Corvette exponent, Bill Sherwood, into 1962, the latter finishing 2nd overall in the Pacific Coast Regional Class C-Modified championship that season—no mean feat for a car now in its fifth season. The TRC was not done yet, either. Danny Raffetto of Placerville took over in late 1963 and campaigned the Ferrari, by now repainted red, with some success for another three or four years. Randy Cook’s book Bowtie Ferraris has some fantastic period images of the car sitting on Raffetto’s driveway. From Raffetto the Ferrari passed to Gerry Sutterfield, then a Volkswagen dealer out of Mount Vernon, Ohio, in May 1969. Sutterfield, who later relocated to Florida and became a well-known collector of Ferraris as well as one of the original Board members during the founding of the Ferrari Club of America, recalls thinking it was a 3-liter Testa Rossa until he removed paint and located the serial number. Following an appearance at an early FCA event held at Mid-Ohio in August 1969, Sutterfield subsequently offered the still-Corvette-powered Ferrari for sale in Prancing Horse magazine. The next owner was a gentleman by the name of Phil Sledge from Burlingame, in the Bay Area of California. By the early 1970s, 0680 ended up with Richard L. Haskell, a professional ice skater then living in Salt Lake City, Utah who owned various Ferraris (including a 275 GTB and 246 GT Dino) around the same time. Lawyer and pioneering Ferrari collector Ed Niles was 0680 MDTR’s next owner. A meticulous record-keeper and also a founding member of the FCA, Niles bought the car from Haskell on 22 February 1972 and loaned it to Miller historian Mark Dees for the Virginia City hillclimb. Niles sold the TRC to John McCain on 31 July 1973, who in turn passed it on to San Francisco-based collector Sid Colberg in 1976 before ending up with Bob Taylor, who ran a shop in the Bay Area specializing in early Ferraris. Taylor reportedly installed an outside-plug Tipo 128F V-12 engine and had the car on the market in mid-1979. Photos of the car during these periods are contained in the extensive history file accompanying this car. Most old race cars wait patiently for a savior to rescue them, and in 0680’s case, that savior was Dr. Michael Callaham. Attracted by the TRC’s glorious lines, Dr. Callaham took over the project in 1981 and an epic restoration ensued, taking almost five years before the Ferrari was returned to its former glory. Based on the available evidence, including letters from John von Neumann’s secretary, former mechanic Harold Broughton, and even Ed Niles, Dr. Callaham understandably believed his 625 was actually the car that von Neumann raced with the 3-liter V-12 engine and duly set about returning the car to this configuration, using a 250 engine block and four-speed gearbox. Meticulously rebuilt by David McCarthy at the renowned Phil Reilly-run shop with larger Testa Rossa valves and roller cam followers, it was topped by six Weber 40 DCN carburetors; a spare wet-sump was obtained from fellow TR owner David Love. Although more recent evidence shows 0672 MDTR as the chassis which received the V-12 250 TR engine 0750, the work conducted by Dr. Callaham was to an extremely high standard, and makes 0680 a magnificent car to drive. Almost 20 years since retiring, 0680 returned to the tracks of California in 1985, becoming a regular fixture at the annual Monterey historic races held at Laguna Seca right up until 2011, along with numerous appearances at Sears Point and even rallies like the Colorado Grand. The Ferrari may have been a highly competitive vintage racer, but this did not stop it receiving an invitation to appear on the lawn of the fabled Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 1995, part of the marque celebrations that year. Dr. Callaham never gave up in his quest to reunite 0680 with its proper motor, and this dream was finally realized in the months leading up to the sale of the TRC in 2012. Following its stint in the rear-engined Cooper, the engine spent decades in Pete Lovely’s collection in Tacoma, Washington before being sold through broker Mike Sheehan to collector Nick Colonna in 1998 as a spare for his 500 TRC (chassis 0670 MDTR). Both 0670 and the spare engine joined Chris Cox’s collection in 2006, and he kept the engine (along with a spare gearbox with internal no. MD 16) after selling the TRC in 2008, until a deal was struck to reunite the engine (together with aforementioned gearbox no. MD 16) with 0680 MDTR. The history of the original engine has been extensively documented, and a file highlighting its location throughout the years is available in the accompanying history file for this car. Joining one of the most important Ferrari collections ever assembled in 2012, sitting alongside several of its compatriots from the 1950s California racing scene (including von Neumann’s earlier 500 Testa Rossa), 0680 has been hidden from public view for more than a decade. IN CONCLUSION As a member of the illustrious Testa Rossa family possessing a clear, unbroken chain of ownership from John von Neumann to the present custodian, 0680, along with its “sibling” 0672, are among the most famous of all West Coast racing Ferraris. The epitome of California hot-rod culture is captured with these cars, most notably with 0672 receiving the V-12 250 TR engine—but von Neumann’s foresight to request a larger 2.5-liter 625 engine for 0680 ignited huge success on the racing track, with the car achieving 21 podium finishes and 10 overall or class victories across over 40 period races. A winner in period and proven vintage racer, the 625 TRC offers a mouth-watering range of possibilities for the new custodian. With extensive service records on file, including an engine service by famed shop Patrick Ottis Co. in 2011 which showed an incredible power output of 322 horsepower on the dyno, 0680 is perfectly set-up for a return to the racetrack or rallies like the Colorado Grand. Likewise, the prospect of restoring the car back to its iconic von Neumann livery and four-cylinder Tipo 625 configuration, using the original engine supplied with the car, could transform 0680 into an absolute star at the most prestigious concours events on the planet. 1957 Ferrari 625 TRC Spider by Scaglietti RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright JOHN VON NEUMANN To understand the 625 TRC’s place in Ferrari’s history, we need to start with the man who commissioned these cars and his pivotal role in bringing the Italian marque to California, one of the most influential markets for Ferrari at the time. Born in Austria in 1921, John von Neumann’s father Heinrich was a prominent surgeon, and in 1939 the well-off family emigrated from Vienna to New York following Hitler’s rise to power. Fascinated by all things mechanical, particularly automobiles, von Neumann enlisted in the military and thanks to his fluency in several European languages, served in military intelligence for much of World War Two. Relocating to the sunnier and altogether more optimistic climate of post-war Los Angeles, a young John kicked off his glittering career as a salesman with Roger Barlow’s International Motors. A skilled pilot, von Neumann was soon immersed in the burgeoning sports car scene and became a founding member of the California Sports Car Club. Von Neumann’s fascination with Ferrari began in 1954 with the purchase of a secondhand 2-liter 500 Mondial, adding a dedicated showroom at 1767 N Cahuenga Boulevard to his rapidly expanding empire in 1957. Trading as Ferrari Representatives of California, von Neumann’s new venture was, along with Luigi Chinetti on the other side of the country, largely responsible for putting the Prancing Horse on the map in North America. Keenly aware of what his customers wanted, von Neumann is also often credited with a pivotal role in the development of Ferrari’s legendary 250 California Spider. A true legend from an era that formed the competition and commercial success that Ferrari enjoys today, von Neumann’s prowess on the racing track and in the showroom will forever go down in Ferrari history with the other great entrepreneurs and racers like Luigi Chinetti, Jacques Swaters, Georges Filipinetti, Colonel Ronnie Hoare, and Enzo Ferrari himself. THE 625 TRC Although the majority of Ferrari’s four-cylinder sports cars built in the period 1953–1957 were sold to privateers, competing for class wins on both sides of the Atlantic, a small number of special cars were built to contest for outright honors. Following the terrible disaster at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1955, the AC de l’Ouest announced the capacity for the prototype class would be restricted to 2.5 liters for the 1956 edition of the classic endurance race. Ever the opportunist, Enzo Ferrari married Lampredi’s proven and enormously successful Tipo 625 Grand Prix engine with Maranello’s latest four-cylinder sports racing model, the 500 Testa Rossa. Designed as a replacement for the 500 Mondial under the direction of the recently recruited engineer Vittorio Jano, the new model’s distinctive red crackle finish on the cam covers led to the now famous model name Testa Rossa (Italian for “Red Head”) being used for the very first time. Uniquely bodied by Carrozzeria Touring, the three 625 LMs struggled against the more powerful Jaguar D-types after William Lyons convinced the race organizers more than 50 had been made to qualify for the production category (in fact, Gordini and Talbot were the only other manufacturers to adhere to the new rules) and co-drivers Olivier Gendebien and Maurice Trintignant did well to finish in 3rd overall. When Ferrari updated the Testa Rossa to meet the new Appendix C regulations announced by the FIA at the end of 1956, the changes were largely cosmetic—and here, Scaglietti managed to create one of the best-looking Ferraris ever made. Just 19 were constructed, of which six went to North American customers, and they proved competitive in the Class E Modified category. The idea of “hot-rodding” was very much alive in California during the 1950s, and looking to exploit the TRC’s sweet-handling chassis, John von Neumann approached Ferrari to build him a more powerful “hot-rod” version. Enzo once again turned to the race-proven Tipo 625 engine as the most expedient way to achieve his American customer’s goal. Von Neumann would ultimately order just two of these Italian hot-rods, and the extra engine capacity resulted in an impressive 25% increase over the standard 500 TRC’s output of 180 brake horsepower at 7,000 rpm. It should also be highlighted that Ferrari’s race department took this as inspiration and further developed the larger-capacity four-cylinder TRC into the legendary V-12-powered 3-liter 250 Testa Rossa. One of the earliest prototypes (0704) started life in a four-cylinder guise with a TRC-derived chassis, while the other (0666) looked virtually identical to the TRC. Ferrari took notice of how successful the 500 TRC was in its smaller engine classes on the track and knew they had the formula for a winning car with a larger engine transplant. Thus, the genesis of Ferrari’s greatest sports racer, the 250 Testa Rossa, can be found directly in the 500/625 TRC. While the Factory prepared von Neumann’s pair of 625 TRC hot-rods, few could have predicted the incredible impact they would have on the global racing scene in the months and years to come. For 1957 John von Neumann was all set to go racing; pilots like Richie Ginther and Ken Miles (not to mention the team principal himself, an accomplished driver) were ready to go head-to-head with the best European exotics and American iron that entrants like John Edgar and Tony Parravano could muster. The new 625 TRC proved a race-winner from the outset, with von Neumann beating locals Julio Mariscal at the wheel of a Jaguar D-type and a young Ricardo Rodriguez in an OSCA at the Avandaro circuit near Valle de Bravo, outside of Mexico City, at the model’s maiden outing in April of 1957. 0680 MDTR Completed on 26 June 1957, chassis 0680 MDTR was the latter of von Neumann’s 625 TRCs, and unlike the earlier car (0672 MDTR), he took delivery in Europe with the plan of contesting select rounds of the European Mountain Championship. Debuting at the Gaisberg hillclimb in his native Austria on 15 August, von Neumann’s time of 10 minutes, 29.2 seconds was good enough for 7th overall, and 10 days later at Lenzerheide in the Grosser Bergpreis der Schweiz, von Neumann achieved a 2nd in class with a time of 7 minutes, 23.6 seconds. Period images of both events confirm 0680 ran with the same Appendix C windscreen installed on all TRCs; the 625 is set apart from its 2-liter siblings by the distinguishing feature of twin humps on the bonnet to accommodate the larger engine. Arriving in California soon afterward, 0680 was configured in von Neumann’s iconic livery of dark silver with a red center band, a driver’s side aero-screen, and passenger tonneau, and it initially wore the temporary Italian registration plate (BO 84689), a legacy from its European sojourn. The car was also fitted with red leather seats with classic white piping, a trademark seat for many of the 250 Testa Rossa customer cars. Making its North American debut at the inaugural meeting held at Laguna Seca in November 1957, 0680 was kept in reserve for the preliminary race, but von Neumann drove it to great effect in the main event, leading most of the race until gearbox trouble caused him to slow a few laps from the end—resulting in a hard-fought 2nd-place finish. This would prove 0680’s only outing in California in 1957, but the sister car was raced with great success throughout 1957, achieving 15 victories across the West Coast and Nassau Speed Weeks. Respected journal Road & Track ran a road test on the 625s in their December edition, with von Neumann and Richie Ginther both rating the car as the “… best handling and easiest of all Ferraris to drive in a race.” The following year proved pivotal in the 625 TRC’s history. Both cars were campaigned alongside von Neumann’s 250 Testa Rossas, ex-works 335 Sport, and ultimately the fearsome 412 Sport, another bespoke car built for the team. The von Neumann outfit would typically enter just one TRC at each event, with the second kept as a backup, and it has taken careful examination of period images to reveal which of the two cars appeared in each race. Von Neumann personally favored 0680 over the other Ferraris in his stable for the first half of the 1958 season (including the first customer-delivered “pontoon” 250 Testa Rossa), finishing 3rd overall and 2nd in class at Pomona and 4th overall and 1st in class at Palm Springs in February and April, respectively, before breaking through for a maiden overall win driving 0680 in Hawaii the following month. The team principal again finished 4th in the main event at Santa Barbara in May before Richie Ginther took over the TRC at Laguna Seca in June, winning the SCCA Regional event and retiring at Vaca Valley in July. Von Neumann’s daughter Josie often drove in the Ladies Race, and she took victory at the wheel of 0680 at Vaca Valley. With 0680 relegated to the role of team spare for the remainder of the 1958 season, a tumultuous period followed in which John and his first wife divorced and most of the Ferraris and the dealership ultimately passed to Eleanor.

Come the early 1950s, Alfa Romeo sought to expand its model range yet the assembly line at its Portello facility had limited room to grow. That led the marque to canvas the availability of external coachbuilders. Of the three that presented their concept, Bertone won the contract. Little wonder, given Franco Scaglione had designed a beautiful, aerodynamic, compact-yet-sporting car that would be christened the Giulietta Sprint. The model proved an instant hit upon its world unveiling at the 1954 Turin Salon, so much so that Alfa Romeo had to quickly increase production. The super-advanced 1.3-litre, alloy, twin-cam engine—which would remain in production for the next four decades—was penned by ex-Ferrari engineer Giuseppe Busso. For the advent of the more sporting Veloce model two years later, the rev-happy unit’s power was increased, while weight was cut by some 100 kilograms to leave the already lithe car to tip the scales at a featherweight 780 kilograms. Equipped with independent suspension, a responsive chassis, and excellent brakes, Alfa Romeo and Bertone had created a stylish and rewarding car for the discerning enthusiast. It would remain on sale for 12 years, with 3,058 of the 132,000 or so built leaving the factory in Veloce form. For the facelifted, second series of the Veloce, power climbed to 97 brake horsepower to improve the driving experience even further. So much so, the model would come to tempt 1979 Formula 1 World Champion Jody Scheckter, the owner of this right-hand-drive car, who grew up around similar examples as his father was a successful Alfa Romeo dealer. Chassis ARE159022, stamped “E” by Bertone in deference to it being a Veloce edition, holds a 1 July 1961 production date, according to the factory-issued Certificate of Origin. It was then exported to Scheckter’s native South Africa on 21 November. Originally finished in the classic Rosso Alfa hue, this car was at some point repainted to burgundy before it was fully restored by Dennis McCallum, a childhood friend of Scheckter, of Vincent, South Africa. The work believed to have been carried out in 2016, this Giulietta Sprint Veloce was returned to its factory colour, while the seats were reupholstered in complementary two-tone red and white. The Alfa Romeo is accompanied by a spare wheel and battery charger. Offered for sale direct from a Formula 1 World Champion, this charming Giulietta Sprint Veloce would be a worthy addition to any Alfa Romeo or Bertone-themed collection while still promising to be a thoroughly entertaining companion on more exciting roads. 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Ferrari’s 250 GT LWB “Tour de France” racing Berlinetta is a hallmark of the brand’s heritage, renowned for its outstanding design and competitive dominance. Developed in 1956 from the 250 GT road car, it featured a refined 3.0-liter V-12 engine with triple Weber carburetors and stunning Scaglietti coachwork crafted from lightweight aluminum. Combined with Perspex glass and a stripped-down cockpit, the TdF achieved an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, challenging rivals like the Jaguar XK and Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. The debut of Ferrari’s new 250 GT LWB Berlinetta was remarkable, with works driver Olivier Gendebien and navigator Jacques Washer winning their class at the Giro di Sicilia in April 1956. Later that year, Marquis Alfonso de Portago claimed overall victory in the grueling 3,600-mile Tour de France endurance rally. Enzo Ferrari was so thrilled with the car’s performance that the factory named the new model after this race with the 250 GT LWB Berlinetta referred to as “Tour de France” or simply TdF. The moniker was further validated as Gendebien matched de Portago’s victory by winning the storied French race in 1957 and 1958 with later TdF examples, giving the model three victories in this highly important race—a feat not even the great 250 GTO was able to accomplish. From 1958 to 1959, Scaglietti further streamlined the TdF, reducing the bodywork to a single louver in the sail panels. Only 36 examples were built in this configuration, with 28 of those originally built in the highly desirable covered-headlight setup. However, due to road regulations introduced in parts of Europe around this time, a number of these covered-headlight examples were converted to open headlights, and then in some cases back to covered headlights later on. These final-edition TdF examples also introduced key mechanical upgrades like a new gearbox, a revamped intake manifold, and several engine enhancements. Built for racing, it is no surprise that many of the 77 TdF examples suffered damage during their competition careers, making the search for the finest surviving TdF cars a challenging pursuit. This 1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Berlinetta TdF is among the finest and most illustrious examples of this rare and coveted model. A combination of attributes places it very high on an extremely short list of TdFs, having been built in the most beautiful configuration—with covered headlamps and single louvers—and raced successfully, without incident, by not one, but two, championship-caliber drivers. Chassis 0933 GT is one of the very few to have escaped entirely unharmed from its storied, laurel-crowned competition career. Without a single significant shunt or battle scar to mar its beautiful alloy coachwork, 0933 GT’s remarkable preservation is the result of decades spent in esteemed Ferrari collections, which shielded it from additional years of intense racing across Europe. TWO CHAMPIONS IN TWO YEARS On 17 June 1958, chassis 0933 GT was sold new to two-time Italian National Road Racing Champion Casimiro “Miro” Toselli of Turin, a wealthy gentleman-driver more skilled than most Ferrari customers. Chassis 0933 GT is recorded as one of three TdF examples he drove in competition from 1957 through 1960. A photo supplied by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini shows Toselli taking delivery of 0933 GT at the factory, finished in its original color combination of Oro Chiaro over Rosso Bordeaux leather upholstery. The only TdF produced in this color scheme, it was also equipped with covered headlamps, Borrani wire wheels, and in pure racing trim, without bumperettes or side-view mirrors. Just prior to taking delivery, Toselli asked for a single, white racing stripe to be painted on. Debuting 0933 GT on 14 September 1958 at the tight and technical Rocco Cocconato hillclimb in Asti, a region of Piedmont, Italy, Toselli scored 5th overall against a tight field of similar Ferraris. Still growing accustomed to the car, he finished 7th overall at the Pontedecimo hillclimb on 28 September and dropped out of the famous Trieste-Opicina hillclimb on 5 October, but by 10 October had finally become aligned with his machine when he stirred 0933 GT to its first victory at the rigorous Pila hillclimb in Aosta. The next month, Toselli and 0933 GT traveled to the Venezuelan Grand Prix as a guest of Scuderia Manunina, an Argentinian-Italian racing program run by Marcello Giambertone, longtime manager of five-time Formula One World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio. This race was not a traditional grand prix, but rather a torturous 754-kilometer point-to-point road race run across poorly maintained dirt roads. Organizers had initially told the press and assembled drivers that “…a good time for the trip in a fast sports car is around 10 hours,” as quoted in Motor Sport magazine. Like a golden bullet that grazed the raucous crowds along the route, Toselli finished the race in only five hours, which, rather amazingly, was good enough for 4th place among a coterie of 250 TdF variants headed by Ferrari factory driver Jean Behra. Following this outstanding result, Toselli headed back to Italy alone, as he appears to have sold 0933 GT to Lino Fayen, the Ferrari agent in Caracas, Venezuela, who would go on to race the car at the Gran Premio della Lotteria in Monza, Italy in June 1959, prior to brokering the car to Venezuelan Mauricio Marcotulli, yet another talented gentleman-driver who counted several TdFs, 250 GTs, and Testa Rossas among his preferred rides. From January through October 1959, Marcotulli entered 0933 GT in at least six top-tier sports car road races as an entrant of the Automobile Club of Venezuela. Among a tight-knit group of Venezuela’s best amateur drivers, nearly all of whom drove competition Ferraris supplied by Fayen, Marcotulli’s lowest recorded result from the 1959 season was 2nd place. Chassis 0933 GT’s sole outright victory with its second champion-owner came on 16 August, when Marcotulli completed the 128-kilometer Gran Premio de Maracaibo in under 52 minutes. Consistency is often more important than outright victory, and to this end Marcotulli finished as runner-up in four of six recorded races, including at the 480-kilometer Caracas-Cumana Premio de Oriente on 25 January, the grueling 1,660-kilometer Premio Ciudad de Cabimas on 7 June and the 481-kilometer Maracay-Cumana-Margarita race on 2 August. He most notably sealed that year’s road racing championship over Spanish driver Julio Pola with a 2nd place finish on 20 September at the Gran Premio de Ojeda. Thus, 0933 GT had served two champions in just 12 months. Marcotulli registered 0933 GT in Venezuela as “ND0943,” and the car retained this plate following its sale to Ugo Tosa in late 1959. For the 1960 season, Tosa and co-pilot Silvano Turco importantly entered the car in the first round of the 1960 World Sportscar Championship at the 1000 KM of Buenos Aires. One of a select number of TdFs to successfully compete in World Championship competition, 0933 GT availed itself very well with the Venezuelan drivers, finishing 3rd in the GT class and 11th overall. Chassis 0933 GT competed in further endurance races between Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela, and in his last recorded race at the Caracas-to-Bogota rally, Tosa famously shared driving duties with his wife Franca. In early 1961, Lino Fayen purchased the car from Tosa and brought it back to France from Venezuela, likely intending to sell it to a European privateer. However, 0933 GT's promising competitive future was abruptly interrupted by a dispute between Fayen and the French tax authorities. Tax agents seized the car—still carrying its Venezuelan registration plates—in a parking lot at Paris Orly Airport. HALLOWED HALLS AND RECENT LIFE The seizure advertently saved 0933 GT from the possibility of another several seasons in competition and preserved its originality as the car remained in storage for five years, until offered at a customs auction in October 1966 where it was purchased by one Christian d’Epenoux. Renowned Ferrari collector Pierre Bardinon quickly pried chassis 0933 GT from his hands and had the car registered as “5799GZ78” and refinished in Rosso to fit the famous aesthetic of his private Mas du Clos Ferrari museum in Aubusson, France. From 1975 through 1977, Comte Frederic Chandon de Briailles of Moët et Chandon fame briefly enjoyed ownership of chassis 0933 GT, before Bardinon bought it back and retained it in his incredible collection for another six years. Interceding owners of note from 1983 to the present include three-time Le Mans competitor Dominique Bardini, as well as André Binda and noted tifoso Michel Seydoux. From 1997 through 2001, 0933 GT was cosmetically refinished in its original Oro Chiaro and treated to a mechanical restoration by UK-based specialists Terry Hoyle Racing Engineers. In 2004, the car’s original Rosso Bordeaux leather upholstery was removed and preserved and Cognac leather hides were installed. This TdF’s only setback during its racing career was the expiration of its original 3.0-liter engine block—quite a common occurrence for Ferrari competition cars—having likely developed issues during Marcotulli’s ownership. The engine block currently fitted to the car is an unstamped correct-type unit believed to be a period factory replacement installed in Caracas by Lino Fayen’s dealership staff. This replacement block is still fitted to the original timing case that is correctly stamped “0933 GT.” Additionally, Ferrari historian Jess Pouret notes in his book Ferrari 250 GT Competition Cars that 0933 GT was fitted with upgraded engine components by the factory sometime around 1960. An assessment on file from Ferrari guru Keith Bluemel corroborates the preservation of 0933 GT’s original alloy bodywork, as well as the original gearbox and rear axle units with internal numbers cited by Massini’s report, indicating that all of these important components are believed to be original. Since entering the consignor’s finely curated collection in 2006, the car has been faithfully maintained by a private mechanic using parts supplied by leading specialists, including GTO Engineering. As a regular entrant in Ferrari Club events and tours such as the California Mille, and Colorado Grand, 0933 GT has enjoyed a routine regimen of exercise and maintenance. Now offered for the first time in 18 years, 0933 GT is accompanied by copies of its Automobile Club d'Italia estratto, Massini and Keith Bluemel Reports, restoration invoices, historic imagery and correspondence, books, a tool kit, and original Rosso Bordeaux leather upholstery. A car driven to glory by champions and further cherished by some of the marque’s most significant collectors, 0933 GT is a truly remarkable prize reflecting the most evocative tenets of Ferrari’s mythos. As the centerpiece of many Ferrari-focused collections, the Tour de France is undeniably one of the most captivating 250 GT iterations, occupying an important perch within the pantheon of Ferrari racing lineage. Highly celebrated by enthusiasts today, the 250 GT Tour de France epitomizes the finest in dual-use grand touring Ferraris, which could be driven to the circuit and vigorously raced before enjoying a relaxing trip home. 1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Berlinetta 'Tour de France' by Scaglietti RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Ferrari’s 250 GT LWB “Tour de France” racing Berlinetta is a hallmark of the brand’s heritage, renowned for its outstanding design and competitive dominance. Developed in 1956 from the 250 GT road car, it featured a refined 3.0-liter V-12 engine with triple Weber carburetors and stunning Scaglietti coachwork crafted from lightweight aluminum. Combined with Perspex glass and a stripped-down cockpit, the TdF achieved an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, challenging rivals like the Jaguar XK and Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. The debut of Ferrari’s new 250 GT LWB Berlinetta was remarkable, with works driver Olivier Gendebien and navigator Jacques Washer winning their class at the Giro di Sicilia in April 1956. Later that year, Marquis Alfonso de Portago claimed overall victory in the grueling 3,600-mile Tour de France endurance rally. Enzo Ferrari was so thrilled with the car’s performance that the factory named the new model after this race with the 250 GT LWB Berlinetta referred to as “Tour de France” or simply TdF. The moniker was further validated as Gendebien matched de Portago’s victory by winning the storied French race in 1957 and 1958 with later TdF examples, giving the model three victories in this highly important race—a feat not even the great 250 GTO was able to accomplish. From 1958 to 1959, Scaglietti further streamlined the TdF, reducing the bodywork to a single louver in the sail panels. Only 36 examples were built in this configuration, with 28 of those originally built in the highly desirable covered-headlight setup. However, due to road regulations introduced in parts of Europe around this time, a number of these covered-headlight examples were converted to open headlights, and then in some cases back to covered headlights later on. These final-edition TdF examples also introduced key mechanical upgrades like a new gearbox, a revamped intake manifold, and several engine enhancements. Built for racing, it is no surprise that many of the 77 TdF examples suffered damage during their competition careers, making the search for the finest surviving TdF cars a challenging pursuit. This 1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Berlinetta TdF is among the finest and most illustrious examples of this rare and coveted model. A combination of attributes places it very high on an extremely short list of TdFs, having been built in the most beautiful configuration—with covered headlamps and single louvers—and raced successfully, without incident, by not one, but two, championship-caliber drivers. Chassis 0933 GT is one of the very few to have escaped entirely unharmed from its storied, laurel-crowned competition career. Without a single significant shunt or battle scar to mar its beautiful alloy coachwork, 0933 GT’s remarkable preservation is the result of decades spent in esteemed Ferrari collections, which shielded it from additional years of intense racing across Europe. TWO CHAMPIONS IN TWO YEARS On 17 June 1958, chassis 0933 GT was sold new to two-time Italian National Road Racing Champion Casimiro “Miro” Toselli of Turin, a wealthy gentleman-driver more skilled than most Ferrari customers. Chassis 0933 GT is recorded as one of three TdF examples he drove in competition from 1957 through 1960. A photo supplied by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini shows Toselli taking delivery of 0933 GT at the factory, finished in its original color combination of Oro Chiaro over Rosso Bordeaux leather upholstery. The only TdF produced in this color scheme, it was also equipped with covered headlamps, Borrani wire wheels, and in pure racing trim, without bumperettes or side-view mirrors. Just prior to taking delivery, Toselli asked for a single, white racing stripe to be painted on. Debuting 0933 GT on 14 September 1958 at the tight and technical Rocco Cocconato hillclimb in Asti, a region of Piedmont, Italy, Toselli scored 5th overall against a tight field of similar Ferraris. Still growing accustomed to the car, he finished 7th overall at the Pontedecimo hillclimb on 28 September and dropped out of the famous Trieste-Opicina hillclimb on 5 October, but by 10 October had finally become aligned with his machine when he stirred 0933 GT to its first victory at the rigorous Pila hillclimb in Aosta. The next month, Toselli and 0933 GT traveled to the Venezuelan Grand Prix as a guest of Scuderia Manunina, an Argentinian-Italian racing program run by Marcello Giambertone, longtime manager of five-time Formula One World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio. This race was not a traditional grand prix, but rather a torturous 754-kilometer point-to-point road race run across poorly maintained dirt roads. Organizers had initially told the press and assembled drivers that “…a good time for the trip in a fast sports car is around 10 hours,” as quoted in Motor Sport magazine. Like a golden bullet that grazed the raucous crowds along the route, Toselli finished the race in only five hours, which, rather amazingly, was good enough for 4th place among a coterie of 250 TdF variants headed by Ferrari factory driver Jean Behra. Following this outstanding result, Toselli headed back to Italy alone, as he appears to have sold 0933 GT to Lino Fayen, the Ferrari agent in Caracas, Venezuela, who would go on to race the car at the Gran Premio della Lotteria in Monza, Italy in June 1959, prior to brokering the car to Venezuelan Mauricio Marcotulli, yet another talented gentleman-driver who counted several TdFs, 250 GTs, and Testa Rossas among his preferred rides. From January through October 1959, Marcotulli entered 0933 GT in at least six top-tier sports car road races as an entrant of the Automobile Club of Venezuela. Among a tight-knit group of Venezuela’s best amateur drivers, nearly all of whom drove competition Ferraris supplied by Fayen, Marcotulli’s lowest recorded result from the 1959 season was 2nd place. Chassis 0933 GT’s sole outright victory with its second champion-owner came on 16 August, when Marcotulli completed the 128-kilometer Gran Premio de Maracaibo in under 52 minutes. Consistency is often more important than outright victory, and to this end Marcotulli finished as runner-up in four of six recorded races, including at the 480-kilometer Caracas-Cumana Premio de Oriente on 25 January, the grueling 1,660-kilometer Premio Ciudad de Cabimas on 7 June and the 481-kilometer Maracay-Cumana-Margarita race on 2 August. He most notably sealed that year’s road racing championship over Spanish driver Julio Pola with a 2nd place finish on 20 September at the Gran Premio de Ojeda.

While the earliest examples of the Shelby Cobra were fitted with 260-cubic-inch Ford V-8s, the roadster finally came into its own when fitted with Ford’s 289-cubic-inch V-8, which entered production after the first 75 cars were built. Tipping the scales at around 2,000 pounds—some 500 pounds lighter than the archrival Chevrolet Corvette—the increased output paid massive dividends in terms of performance. Not only did the 289 Cobra prove to be an incredible car to drive and enjoy on the street, it also proved to be highly competitive on the track, where it could easily hold its own against competitors in both Europe and North America. According to Robert D. Walker’s Shelby Cobras, Volume 2, chassis number CSX 2095 arrived in Los Angeles in the spring of 1963 and was invoiced to Coventry Motors of Walnut Creek, California in June of that year. Although the car’s early history is unknown, by April of 1972 it was owned by Robert C. Able of Eugene, Oregon, who acquired the car from Arthur Johnstone, of Medford. In 1974, the car was repainted dark blue and the interior was changed from black to red. During this time period, the original five-bolt 289 Hi-Po engine was replaced with a later 289-cubic-inch V-8 fitted with two four-barrel carburetors, while its 5.5-inch painted wire wheels were replaced with 7.5-inch bolt-on American Racing wheels. The fenders were also opened up and reshaped for additional clearance at this time, and small, round taillights inboard of the factory units were added. In 1981 Jim Donofrio (misspelled as “D’Onnofrio” in the Shelby American Automobile Club Registry) of Salem, Oregon acquired the car and by that time it had been repainted black. Donofrio would swap out the 7.5-inch-wide bolt-on wheels with 6.0-inch-wide, chrome-plated Dayton wire wheels with knock-off spinners. He kept the car for over 20 years, finally parting ways with it in the early 2000s. The car’s next owner was Bill Bryan of Winter Park, Florida. Upon purchasing it, Bryan sent CSX 2095 to noted Cobra restorer Mike McCluskey in Torrance, California, who restored the car to its original configuration, replacing incorrect components and returning the fenders to their contours. A Harrison radiator and aluminum expansion tank were also installed, according to the SAAC Registry, and the interior was reupholstered in red leather. During Bryan’s ownership, the Cobra saw extensive use and was reportedly driven in several Cobra tours. The consignor acquired CX 2095 in 2020. It has accumulated a mere 10 miles since and remains in well-preserved condition with gentle patina throughout, an ideal candidate for further touring, in which its next owner can enjoy the full power of its 289-cubic-inch V-8. 1963 Shelby 289 Cobra RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

To replace the iconic Miura, Lamborghini would once again throw the design rulebook out of the window. Employing Marcello Gandini once more, Lamborghini launched the spaceship LP400 at the Geneva motorshow in 1971. Three years later the first customer cars were delivered. In 1974 the Countach was a trailblazer. Its design both pioneered and popularised the wedge-shaped, sharply angled look popular in many high-performance sports cars. The "cabin-forward" design concept, which pushes the passenger compartment forward in order to accommodate a larger engine, was also popularised by the Countach. For the 5000 QV, the penultimate and most popular iteration of the Countach legend, the engine was bored and stroked to 5.2 litres (5,167 cc) and given four valves per cylinder (quattrovalvole in Italian). The carburettors were moved from the sides to the top of the engine for better breathing — creating a "power bulge" on the engine cover. These engine changes meant that the car produces 455BHP @7,500rpm with 369lb ft @ 5,200rpm; some 70bhp up on its Testarossa rival and enough to propel the car from a standstill to 60mph in 4.1 seconds and on to 100mph in 10. The Downdraft 5000 QV was in fact the only Countach to be homologated for the FIAs Group B, intending to rival the likes of the 288 GTO and 959 before the cancellation of the series due to safety concerns. Such was the over engineering present with the Countach, even at peak production just three handbuilt cars a week were finished in Sant’Agata. It is these facts and figures which make the downdraft QV the Countach to have, whilst the headlines have been grabbed the early Periscopica Countachs which have soared in value, peaking at auction as high as $1,800,000. In 2011, world-renowned period test-driver Valentino Balboni spoke the highest praise of the QV, ’It’s still clean and pure Countach. I think it’s the best compromise. In terms of power and drivability, for me it’s the best. This is the one which has the most charisma, I would say. Pure Countach: the right engine in the right car.” This example of the iconic, penned by Marcello Gandini, Lamborghini Countach is a high performance 5000 QV ’88.5’ variant, named as such due to its four valve per cylinder heads (Quattro – Valvole). This specific car is believed to have been the New York Auto Show car for 1988. It arrived finished in Rosso Perlato Chiaro, a deep almost pearlescent finish, not overly saturated, which allows it to pair coherently with the gold Campagnolo magnesium wheels. The interior is trimmed in extensive Champagne leather, with dark red inserts and piping. A specification that was bespoke at the time, and certainly encapsulates the iconic 1980s aesthetic of the Countach. After unveiling at the New York Auto Show, the car had two subsequent owners before being purchased by Frank Drendel of North Carolina, with just 5,877 kilometres from new, in January 1997. The Drendel family was in ownership of an impressive collection, and notably Matt Drendel, son of Frank, would go on to purchase a broad range of the most desirable turbocharged Porsche Racecars, including 911 GT1, 917/30, and several 935s, before his untimely passing at just 35 years old in 2010. In 1998, the car was sold to Al Burtoni of Milano Imports of Gilroy, California. Burtoni would undertake extensive modification this Countach, including high compression pistons, camshafts, ignition, low inertia connecting rods, as well as European spec headers, exhaust system, and Weber carburettors. This raised the output of the Bizzarrini Designed V12 from a claimed 440bhp, which was an optimistic figure, to a proven 538.4 Corrected bhp over 7,000rpm, on the TRD USA dyno in California. Whilst the car was undergoing works, it was purchased by Miura and Diablo owner Dick Rasmussen, who eventually took delivery of the car to his home in Wisconsin on the 4th of September 1998. Upon purchasing, Rasmussen also had the registration "DA BULL" put onto the car. Rasmussen would go on to care for this Countach until his passing in 2023; an over 25-year single ownership, covering less than 7,000km in this time. A request from Rasmussen was that whoever would be the next owner of the car would be selected by his family, and as such, the previous owner of the car did not simply just choose to purchase the Countach, he underwent a lengthy assessment by the family to be a worthy custodian of the vehicle. Today, this exceptionally powerful Countach has covered only 13,000 kilometres from new and presents the opportunity to purchase an appropriately upgraded Lamborghini in excellent condition. 1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV D.K.

THE 500 SUPERFAST Initially coined for a series of show cars and concepts, Ferrari’s “Superfast” nomenclature was finally applied to a production vehicle in 1964 with the introduction of the 500 Superfast. Conceived as a luxurious, exclusive grand touring saloon, the new model was for all intents and purposes the ultimate development of Ferrari’s flagship Superamerica model. While the Superfast coachwork was clearly developed from the outgoing 400 Superamerica Coupe Aerodinamico, the Tipo 578/65 chassis was derived from the 330 GT 2+2, ensuring the luxurious ride quality of a long wheelbase. These dimensions were maximized with the removal of any rear seating, providing a remarkably roomy and elegant interior. Luxury amenities included power windows and steering, sumptuous leather upholstery, and a teak-accented dashboard. The Superfast’s 4,963-cubic-centimeter Tipo 208 V-12 was an extremely unique engine for Ferrari, combining elements of the Lampredi-designed tall-block racing engine and the long-running Colombo-designed short-block motor. Capable of developing 400 horsepower, this engine was described by the noted marque historian Hans Tanner as “one of the most powerful Ferrari GT engines ever constructed.” Unveiled at the 1964 Geneva International Motor Show, the 500 Superfast was built in a limited quantity of just 36 examples through late 1966. As the flagship Ferrari grand touring model of its era, the 500 Superfast enjoyed ownership by jet-set luminaries such as the Aga Khan, Barbara Hutton, the Shah of Iran, and Peter Sellers. Claiming rarity, breathtaking aesthetics, and unprecedented road car performance thanks to its prodigious 400-horsepower 4.9-liter engine, the 500 Superfast was the ultimate expression of the Superamerica series. The highly collectable cars are now found at the center of some of the world’s most exclusive and respected stables…as they were when new. CHASSIS NUMBER 6033 SF The eighth 500 Superfast produced, chassis number 6033 SF was originally finished in Grigio Fumo over a Nero interior, to a rather sporting specification with three front fender air ducts, circular Carello turn signals, but no air conditioning, rear seats, or power assists for windows or steering—it was, more than most, a genuine all-out performance car. This apparently suited its original owner, Dr. Fritz Ries, who took delivery from prominent Düsseldorf, Germany Ferrari dealer Auto-Becker in January 1965. Dr. Ries was a man of taste; the 500 Superfast succeeded his previous 400 Superamerica. Auto-Becker apparently took the car back, via resale or trade, in the summer of 1968, and advertised it that August as a one-owner car with 6,400 kilometers traveled. In 1969 the car was imported to Florida, and eventually made its way in the early 1970s into the hands of Edward A. Weschler, Jr., of Nashotah, Wisconsin. It returned to Europe in 1989, but came back Stateside but a few years later. In 1996 the car passed into the hands of the present owner, a devoted longtime enthusiast and collector of Ferrari’s finest and most significant models. Substantial mechanical and cosmetic improvements were shortly undertaken by the noted Patrick Ottis & Company, with invoices and descriptions of the work included within the file. Ottis’s notes noted the presence of the original chassis and engine stamps, and recount the car as being “a good original example—not restored. Indicated low mileage is reflected in its condition. Chassis, shocks, suspension bushes etc. all original, black leather, red carpets seem original.” Further additional, documented servicing was completed by Ferrari of Central Florida in the early 2000s. The carburetors were rebuilt and a new generator installed by specialist Greg Jones in 2012, among additional mechanical sorting also documented in-file. Finally, in 2015, a meticulous restoration was undertaken in Jones’s hands, finishing the car in its very elegant original colors while preserving the original components wherever possible, with invoices and photographs in the file continuing to document the good care. In recent years it has continued to be upkept by the owners while making regular show appearances, most prominently in Southern concours d’elegance and Ferrari events. It is accompanied by tools, in addition to the aforementioned photos and files. This is, simply, an excellent example of the 500 Superfast, one of Ferrari’s most exclusive creations of an enthralling age. 1964 Ferrari 500 Superfast Series I by Pininfarina RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The days when people still smiled proudly without braces, and when you could still prank your teachers with a note from your parents. This was the time when legends were born, Keith Richards, Martin Luther King, and of course the Jaguar E-type cannot be left out of that list of greats. According to Enzo Ferrari, much to the dismay of other style icons, the most beautiful car ever made. A beast with exotic forms of British grandeur. The 4.2-litre six-in-line as the beating heart of the black feline sounds like no other. An aggressive growl and yet stylish. Ours is from the second series, which compared to the Series 1 mainly got a bit more comfort. In addition, the car was a bit more reliable due to larger radiator and two electric fans. This time, the headlights got locking lenses (saves condensation), the bumper matched the body better and the cooling and brakes also got a big upgrade.Ours is once again special. Just fully restored, and god how handsome she looks. Everything has been taken apart and no expense has been spared to restore English history to glory. The result is a gorgeous E-type 4.2 FHC series 2 in enchanting Pale Primrose Yellow. The paintwork is stunning and you can count your whiskers in the chrome work. Technically, she is ready for many rallies and long pleasure drives. Now all we need is a new owner who will look after it with the same precision. Do you fancy touring around particularly chic in the world’s greatest icons? The E-type, a creature of fire and spirit, whose every movement is pure poetry. – E-type 4.2 FHC Series 2 1970 Jaguar E-type Series 2 JamesEdition B.V.
